Police were looking for a motive for a shooting spree in which a man opened fire with an assault rifle in a quiet neighborhood in Edmond, killing one man and critically wounding another before being killed by police.

Authorities said it was a random act of violence.

They said 44-year-old Ralph Meyer fatally shot Stephen J. Scott, 54, as he was working in his backyard and wounded 61-year-old George Polifka, who had been swimming in his pool.
